Application led lune 11, 192'?, Serial No. 1911356, and in Germany September 23, 1926.

This invention relates to bed-bidets with douche, the oval seat of the bed-bidet being formed by a .metal tube serving as water reservoir. The oval seat has a bottom plate of suitable material, preferalfily et the same material as the tube, i. e. aluminium. The tube and the bottom plate term together' a shallow basin which may have a second botu tom plate arranged at about haltI the height oil' the tube and inclined towards a discharge pipe.

@n the inner side ot the tube serving' as water reservoir a suction nozzle is arranged to which a rubber ball with rubber' hose is connected at the end ot which a rose having a cock is fixed. rlihc waste water collecting on the bottom plate 'flows back into the oval tube through a tubular outi low having a sieve and a suction valve, the sucking back oit the water being etected by means oit a rubber ball.

'.llhe bidet is covered with a rubber-sheet, held on a lateral bead o't the tube. When the bidet is to be used, only one halt oit the cover is laid back whereupon the suetion-ball and the rose can be operated.

Viith this object in view a rubl'ier--strap is stretched transversely over the basin, a little behind the suction tube, and designed to hold the cover.

Valves are mounted in the suction-tube and in the outtlow-tube to shut ott said tubes and which permit ot using the bidet as hot water bottle.,

'llhe bidet according to the invention, is shown, by way oi' example, in the accompanying drawing in 1 in top plan view in lig. 2 in longitudinal section and in Fig. 3 in cross section taken 'at the height ot the suction tube.

rli`he bidet consists oit a bent tube 1 and of a bottom plate 2 which is downwardly inclined towards the outtlow 7. Under this bottom plate 2, a second bottom plate 3 is fixed which is flush with the lower side ot tube 1.. it the upper end of the tube 1 a filling tube 4f is arranged which may be used also as outflow tor the water.

The water 'flows `from the basin through a screen 6 into a tube l in which a suction valve 8 is arranged.

Above the bottom plate 2 a suction tube 9 is arranged which branches ott trom tube 1 in inward direction and 1s closed by a suction valve. `On this tube t) a hose 10 is lined which is enlarged at about the middle to forni a suction ball 12. On the free end 13 ot hose 10 a cool; 14 is fixed which comprises a pressure valve 15 and ends in a rose.

By means ot the ball 12 the water is sucked from the tube 1. Vi/henthe rubber ball 12 is compressed again the valve 11 acts as check valve, so that the water flows through the valve 15 and into the cock 1li and into the rose which is used tor tlushing.

The bidet is permanently covered by a rubber cover, the upper portion 16 of which need be removed only when. the basin has to be thoroughly cleaned. For normal use only the lower portion ot the cover is laid back. ln order to hold this portion ot the cover in the laid back position a rubber strap 18 is provided which is attached to two buttons 17 at opposite sides of tube 1.

A bead 19 extending around the tube 1 serves to securely hold the rubber cover.

li claim 1. A. bed-bidet comprising in combination a tube ot heat conducting material bent to 'form an oval seat, a solid bottom plate fixed on the lower surface oil said tube, a suction tube branching oil the inner side of said bent tube in inward direction, a suction valve in said suction tube, a rubber hose comprising a suction ball mounted on the end ot' said suction tube, a pressure valve in the tree end ot said rubber hose, a rose extending trom said pressure valve, a cock in said rose, an outi'low tube at the trent end ot said bent tube, a screen in said outliow tube, and a suction valve in the saine.

2. A bed-bidet as specified in claim 1 comprising in combination with the oval bent l tube and the iiXedv bottom plate, a bead extending along the outer side oit' said tube, a rubber cover on said bent tube and held by said bead., and a rubber strap stretched across the upper portion ot said oval bent tube and designed to hold the lower portion ot said rubber cover when the same is folded back.
